Mr. Feel Good

NYT Columnist Bob Herbert, a knee-jerk liberal and reliable Republican hater, is hardly ever right about anything. But he gives Bill Cosby and Dr. Alvin Poussaint authors of "Come On, People: On the Path From Victims to Victors" their due here.

Money Q:

“Blaming white people,” they write, “can be a way for some black people to feel better about themselves, but it doesn’t pay the electric bills. There are more doors of opportunity open for black people today than ever before in the history of America.”

Herbert writes, "I couldn’t agree more. Racism disgusts me, and I think it should be fought with much greater ferocity than we see today. But that’s no reason to drop out of school, or take drugs, or refuse to care for one’s children, or shoot somebody."

Maybe even the apologist Liberals are finally starting to get it: that black problems today aren’t whitey’s fault? Although, still when they speak of "fighting racism" they mean the rare traces of remaining white racism …as they continue to cast their blind eyes at the blatant black variety that has become so prevalent in society, giving it a pass.
